Japanese former main Social Networking Service mixi entered the messaging apps

Japanese former main Social Networking Service mixi is out of condition now. They fell to a deficit at last in this term. The profit of the social games does not increase, and active users continue decreasing, too. They perform various measures to change this situation, but when I say honestly, most of them are copy of LINE. They released messaging apps for smartphones "mixi Talk".

This is the service that expanded the message function of mixi. mixi users can chat, message switching and sticker switching and images sharing. Well...there are not the particularly new functions. More ideas are necessary for their revival.
